Subject: Socks Vulnerability Also Effects
	Underwear(Package Compromised)

Date:		9/8/2005

Vulnerability Found:   	Hole In y0himba's Underwear

Affected System:		Male Underwear(Possibly Female As Well)

Severity:			Rating: Critical
				Impact: Package Access
				Where:  Nether Regions

Description of Vulnerability:  It has been discovered after research
inspired by the well documented socks hole vulnerability that male underwear
seems to be also affected.  Reading about this socks hole made me raid my
underwear drawer and actually put some on for once, at which time I
discovered there were holes in my underwear as well as my socks.  Being the
geek that I am I have yet to discover if this also affects female underwear.

Solution: No permanent solution is currently available. A work around is to
go without underwear, being sure to wear shorts or pants.  The only true
permanent solution is to buy or upgrade your existing underwear.

Time Table:		Found at 2:33pm on Sept 8th, 2005
			Work around figured out at 2:35pm on Sept 8th, 2005

Current Permanent Solution:  By new underwear or upgrade your existing
package.
